Regenerative agriculture in the almond sector
In recent years, a model has emerged that goes beyond sustainability in the almond sector: regenerative agriculture.
The Almond Transformation Process
At Manolet Almonds we are aware that quality start in the fields. Therefore, we maintain a close relationship with reliable farmers, that with their experience and dedication provide us with almonds of the utmost quality. From that starting point, our mission is to process them with great care to make sure they reach our clients in an optimal condition, ensuring the almond transformation process is carried out seamlessly.
Each step of that process is designed to preserve the best part of the fruit and respond to the industry’s highest standards:
The steps of the almond transformation process:
1. Harvesting at the optimum point
The farmers harvest the almonds at the optimum point of maturity, ensuring a grain with all its properties intact. The use of efficient mechanical tools reduces production time and guarantees freshness.
2. Controlled natural drying
After harvesting, the almonds are subject to a drying process with forced ventilation that eliminates humidity without altering their natural properties. This avoids the risk of mould and ensures an optimal conservation.
3. Precise shelling
Once dry, at Manolet Almonds we start the transformation process: it is the turn of the shelling step, which is carried out through high-precision machinery that separates the hard shell from the edible grain.
4. Calibration and selection
Afterwards, we calibrate the almonds based on their size and shape, carefully choosing them to ensure uniformity and quality.
5. Secure and traceable packaging
The process ends with a packaging with optimal hygiene conditions, with systems that guarantee total traceability, security and product freshness.
The value of doing things right.
At Manolet Almonds, each almonds tells a story of commitment to quality, innovation and respect for our environment. Each step of the process is designed to guarantee an excellent, safe and sustainable product. Because the almond transformation process is not just a matter of technique, but of doing things right.
